The Weeknd x the Dawn FM Experience

The Weeknd once again brings his music to life and builds on the story telling from previous music videos.

"we're all dancing in purgatory. Right now."

Get me together...This is what it was like in the 90's.... LGK! If you don't know 🤷‍♀️. I wish you were there... (Or you wished you were there.) PM Dawn if you want the real thing.

...what I liked about his first few hits is what I hate about all the rest of his music-it all sounds eerily identical. 90's synth, Michael Jackson wannabe high harmonies, can't dance or perform for the life of him. Great vocals, but his over-the-top attempt to be 'art nuvo' takes away from the music. Videos are supposed to enhance the music, this looked like they got the makeup guy that turned Kyrie into an old geezer doing young things-had ZERO to do with the music or presentation, just a silly distraction and use of fx.

"Its like a dream what she feels for me" and "take my breath away and make it last forever". If superficial lyrics like this bother you then you may still enjoy the rhythm since it's catchy, that is for night club music. Also Weeknd is made to look like a Sr citizen yet is moving around on the floor like a young Mick Jagger. That is a bit jarring to say the least. Thought it would have visually made more sense if he de-aged while singing, then at the very end while Carrey is doing the commentary he ages back to an old person. That being said this is a vid mostly for preordained fans.

I mean it's nothing really special, of course the songs are great and the transitions between environments during different songs were also pretty good.

Rating: 7/10.
